mortal train conductor

Chapter 71
Unhappy things in life are often eighty-nine.The real meaning of this sentence is to say that soldiers have impermanent shape and water has impermanent potential.Destiny generally does not go according to our ideas and designs. People may encounter various sudden difficulties in their lives. Some people will take a detour in the face of difficulties, or lower their noble heads. But some people, after lowering their heads, hit the difficulty with their shoulders, crushing it in one fell swoop.

Li Qingzhao's "Fisherman's Pride" describes the heavy fog: the clouds and clouds in the sky are connected to the morning fog, and the galaxy is about to turn and dance with thousands of sails.Heavy fog weather is a severe test for railway transportation. In the heavy fog, the visibility is extremely low, and the trains are likely to run at a limited speed, which affects the line of sight of the station and train operators, and also has a certain impact on the visual signals of the railway department. Influence.

It was 18:2 at night when the K38 train arrived at Station C. At this time, the platform was filled with thick fog, covering the sky and the sun, making people unable to distinguish east, west, north, south, and directions. The dense fog filled the train outside and on the platform.

The heavy fog blurred the track leading to the front and the station building, and hindered the train staff's sight. Even the adjacent carriages could only hear the sound but not see the person. The visibility was about 10 meters.

In the early years, because the train crew was not equipped with walkie-talkies, when encountering such foggy weather conditions and late-night stops, they could only say—"Communication basically depends on roaring."

就是说，列车员从列车两端的首、尾部开始向中部车厢的列车长所在部位喊号，就是在旅客乘降完毕以后，1号车厢列车员向2号车厢列车员喊话：1号车厢乘降完毕！2号再向3号喊：2号车厢乘降完毕！卧铺17车向16车喊：17车乘降完毕.16车乘降完毕.最终两端的“乘降完毕”吼到了列车中部，列车长所在的部位，再由列车长通告站方乘降完毕可以发车。

But now the railway train crew is not what it used to be. Each post is equipped with a walkie-talkie and uses modern communication equipment to call. Report the situation in this carriage to the conductor quickly.

In addition, when there were no walkie-talkies in each carriage, each carriage could only fight on its own. In this foggy situation, the conductor at the rear of the train could not even tell whether the platform was on the train's side when the platform was dimly lit. Left or right, you can only try to open the door to see, which is time-consuming and unsafe.

Well now, the established regulations are that the conductor in the first compartment in front of the train will observe which side of the train the platform is on, and make an announcement on the intercom.

When arriving at station C, the conductor of the 17 cars at the front of the train shouted through the intercom: "Train K18, arrive at station C, the platform is on the left side of the direction of travel!" It is not in a hurry, and it can quickly vacate the windshield of the door where the door is about to be opened under the condition of a large passenger flow. It can be said that technological means are really applied to the process of ensuring safe production.

Although bad weather has brought many adverse effects on railway transportation, railway staff stick to the front line and use practical actions to ensure the normal operation of trains. In the past few years, railways could only passively defend against bad weather, but In recent years, China's railways have taken the initiative to deal with severe weather and actively carried out advanced warnings to minimize the impact of severe weather on railway transportation.

On the foggy platform, Liu Qun on the train used the walkie-talkie to shout to the flight attendants: "The flight attendants of K18 quickly organized passengers to board and land, and the station stopped for 2 minutes. Please report the passengers' boarding and landing in order in time."

Only 4 passengers got off the sleeper car at Station C, and quickly shouted in the intercom from No. 17 to Car No. 10.In the hard-seat carriages, more passengers got on and off the train, and about 60 passengers got on the train that day.

列车长刘群在硬座8号车厢，正在和C站客运值班员进行客运交接时，对讲机里传来信息：1车行李车已完毕，但硬座车厢仅仅传来了2、3、4车厢旅客乘降完毕的通报，看来5、6、7号车厢还没有乘降完毕。

After the handover, Liu Qun walked quickly to the No. 7 car, and found that there were no passengers in the No. 7 car. The conductor was holding the safety pedal in his hand and was about to get on the car. Liu Qun said in the intercom: "The passengers are finished." Companion crew, please get on the train quickly!"

While speaking, Liu Qunxiang walked quickly to the No. 6 carriage, and raised the bracelet on his wrist while walking, and checked the time. It is now 2:39:15 in the morning, and the arrival time at station C It was 2:38, and the driving time was 2:40.

Liu Qun found that the boarding and landing of carriage 6 has also been completed, and the crew has already boarded the train. It seems that only carriage 5 has not completed boarding and landing. Liu Qun is also a little nervous. When the train departs at 2:40, it will be listed as the responsibility of the train. The most important thing is that if the train is delayed this time, it is likely to cause chaos in the operation and scheduling of all trains on this line.Thinking of this, he involuntarily turned on the video recorder worn on his left chest, quickened his pace, and trotted towards the No. 5 compartment.

At this time, the fog filled the air, from the door of the No. 6 car to the No. 5 car, the distance of a car was about 25 meters, and he could not see the situation clearly. But when he just ran to the middle of the No. 6 car, an unexpected scene happened. After the locomotive at the front of the train let out a long sound, the train started slowly.

Liu Qun ran a few steps forward, and found that there were still two passengers on the platform in a daze, and Li Mang, the conductor, was also a little flustered and at a loss.Liu Qun shouted to Li Mang: "Quickly remove the safety pedal!" The safety pedal is used on the high platform. For the safety of passengers when getting on and off the train, it is a piece of aluminum alloy transition that bridges the gap between the ferry board at the door of the carriage and the platform. When arriving at the station, the conductor takes it out from the compartment and puts it at the door of the train. When getting on the train, it is brought on the train again, and positioned under the seats and berths in the car.

At this time, if the train is running forward with the pedals, the pedals will inevitably rub against the platform, and it may be thrown out if the speed is fast, which will easily cause injury to the platform personnel, or damage the outer skin of the train car or even break the glass of the car. and other unforeseen problems.

Seeing Li Mang's bewildered look, Liu Qun rushed forward, lifted the pedal with his right hand, held it in his hand, and threw it within the white line on the platform.

Due to the heavy fog, people could not be seen clearly after 10 meters. Liu Qun quickly instructed Li Mang: "Think about the emergency plan and notify the station immediately!"

Li Mang used the walkie-talkie to call the passenger on-duty at the station: "Train K18 has not completed boarding and landing, please inform the driver to stop." Within 5 seconds, he got a positive reply from the passenger on-duty.

At the same time, Liu Qun switched the walkie-talkie to channel 5 to call the inspection crew: "The crew of the K18 vehicle immediately called the driver to stop, and the passengers have not finished boarding and landing!"

The voice of the vehicle crew came from the intercom: "Notify immediately!"

After about 10 seconds, the train was moving slowly at a speed of about 5 kilometers per hour without stopping.
A young passenger yelled anxiously: "I didn't get on the train, so I started driving, stop quickly, stop quickly!" The passenger had already followed the train and began to run, and it seemed that he wanted to slam into the open door Inside.Liu Qun hurried forward and grabbed the young passenger, saying: "I am the train conductor of this train, please rest assured that I will let you get on the train. For your safety, please stand within the safety white line. Now Please follow my command!"

Liu Qun persuaded the two passengers to stay within the safe white line of the platform. The train conductor Liu Qun adjusted the intercom to channel 5 again and said, "The crew of train K18 quickly used the emergency brake valve to stop!"

The vehicle crew responded on the intercom: "Got it!"

Liu Qun said loudly to Li Mang: "Li Mang, go get the pedals and get ready to get on the train! After getting on the train, I will notify the train crew that you use channel 2 to notify the passenger transport personnel at the station to quickly organize the departure!" Following the three of them, they quickly ran towards the direction of the train within about one meter of the safety white line.

With a sharp brake sound, the train stopped suddenly. The door of carriage No. 5 was about 4 meters away from the four people. Liu Qun stood at the door and helped the three people board the train quickly. Liu Qun After the last one boarded the train, seeing that Li Mang had already shouted to the station, he immediately used the walkie-talkie to inform the train crew: "Quickly inform the driver that he is ready to leave, and drive quickly!"

The time of the bracelet on Liu Qun's wrist had just jumped to 2:40:20, when the locomotive in front of him heard a long beep again, and the train started slowly again, Liu Qun will display it in front of the video recorder.

Liu Qun wiped the sweat from his forehead and thought: Fortunately, the train was not delayed, but the emergency brake valve was used, which also needs to be reported and analyzed.

The two passengers sat in their seats with lingering fear, and expressed their gratitude to the conductor Liu Qun.Liu Qun said to them: "I am so ashamed that you thanked me. Although the problem this time is not caused by me, it is also caused by our railway department. I can understand that it is very likely that there was a problem in the signal transmission process due to the foggy weather. On behalf of the railway department, I would like to express my deep apologies to both of you.”

One of the middle-aged passengers wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses said: "With such a heavy fog, only our railway can serve us in all weathers. Cars and airplanes must not be able to operate. Seeing such a heavy fog, K18 times The trains are not late, and the transportation order is in order, which can be described as thriving, and in such bad weather, I feel that the safety factor of railway transportation is higher, even if there are some unexpected situations, we can accept them, after all, they are caused by bad weather.”

"Thank you two passengers for your understanding. Although force majeure such as bad weather is the reason why the railway transportation contract can be adjusted accordingly, our railway department still does its best to fulfill its promise and strive to send you to your destination safely and on time. Please You can ride here with peace of mind, if you have any needs, please report to the conductor, I also often inspect the carriages, and your suggestions and comments on our work are very welcome."

In actual work, Liu Qun pays special attention to the return visits of passengers, especially when there are problems that make passengers unhappy or dissatisfied, Liu Qun does not hesitate, takes the initiative to meet them, and does a good job of explaining and persuading passengers At the same time, passengers are asked to express their deepest emotions and dissatisfaction to their heart's content, allowing passengers to vent themselves here, which is better than passengers calling back to the line, calling the team, or calling 12306 to complain and report. many.For passengers, most of them just want an explanation, so giving them this explanation face-to-face is also a manifestation of showing respect to passengers and quickly solving problems, and it is also protecting passengers' right to criticize and make suggestions.

After calming down the two passengers, about 3 minutes and 40 seconds passed, Liu Qun quickly made a brief report to the dispatch emergency command center, the location, the passenger dispatching department of the bureau group company, the passenger transport department, and the motorcade, and finally attached a sentence "The train will start an investigation immediately, and the details will be reported later." Liu Qun, who has studied law, knows very well that if there is this sentence as a "coverage clause", even if there are some mistakes in the previous report, it is enough to make up for it. I have said it, and the details will be reported later. !It means that the previous report is unknown!
When this happens, if the responsibilities are unclear, several units involved will convene a safety analysis and coordination meeting to analyze and demonstrate responsibility and future card control measures based on the on-site evidence saved at that time, so as to avoid the same problem Happen again.

Liu Qun used the camera function of his mobile phone to shoot and save the video data recorded on the video recorder, and sent it to the WeChat computer terminal of the staff on duty in the dispatch emergency command center, and the staff on duty reported it.About 20 minutes later, Liu Qun received a call from the group company of the station where the train was running: "The reason is basically found out. It was due to the foggy weather and the signal machine failure that caused the driver to leave early. The camera on the platform also failed to function, and the images captured at that time were required to be uploaded to the WeChat number specified by the customer survey.”

After the report, Liu Qun found the emergency handling process from the favorites of the mobile phone WeChat, and compared his handling just now to see if it was consistent with the prescribed actions.

"The train started suddenly before the passengers boarded and landed. When the crew found out, they should quickly call the train crew or the platform staff to inform the driver to stop. If the calling conditions were not available, use the walkie-talkie to call the train crew." The weather at that time was thick and foggy , the visibility is about 10-20 meters, and there is no requirement to call the station platform staff or vehicle crew, but it is in compliance with the regulations to use the walkie-talkie to call the vehicle crew.

"When the train crew hears the call, they should immediately use the emergency brake valve to stop." This seems to be inconsistent, because the conditions for using the train emergency brake valve are relatively harsh, so the train crew also hesitated and hoped After notifying the driver, the driver will stop the vehicle on his own initiative.When he called again and explicitly requested an emergency stop, the vehicle crew stopped in an emergency.However, since the time interval is within a dozen seconds, the problem has not been enlarged, and it should be within the scope allowed by the regulations.

"The flight attendants adhered to the principle of 'rather leak than pick up' (meaning that the flight attendants would rather miss the train than rush to catch the train and get on the train while the train is moving), immediately prevented passengers from boarding and landing and evacuated them within the safe white line, and at the same time remove the safety pedal as soon as possible.” Just now, when the train started, I quickly removed the safety pedal and evacuated the passengers to within the safe white line. Notify the driver to start the train and start the train in time within the scheduled time, which did not cause the train to be delayed.

Just after Liu Qun compared the regulations, he received a call from the dispatcher of the group company to which the train belonged. The call said that the dispatching emergency command center of the passenger station where Liu Qun was located had uploaded the video data to them. After investigation and analysis, Liu Qun’s He was commended for his stability in the face of danger and emergency response, and informed Liu Qun that he would issue a commendation order in the form of a dispatch order.
